When You’re Ready to Turn a Product Idea Into Something Real
Choosing the right product design services is critical. A good design team can make the difference between a working prototype and wasted time.
Here are 5 things to know before you hire.
1. Are They Using Professional CAD Software?
Look for design services that use SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or other professional 3D CAD tools. These platforms help ensure the models are manufacturing-ready — especially for CNC machining, 3D printing, or injection molding.
2. Do They Understand Manufacturing?
Great product design services don’t just design something that looks good — they create files you can build from. That means understanding materials, tolerances, assembly methods, and production constraints.
3. Will They Provide All the Files You Need?
Make sure you’ll get:
- Solid CAD files (STEP, STL, or native)
- 2D mechanical drawings
- Exploded views or assemblies if needed
At FluidWorks, we deliver all the files manufacturers ask for — no extra fluff.
4. Can You Talk to a Real Engineer?
Avoid faceless platforms. You should be able to talk directly to the engineer doing your work. That’s how ideas become real — through quick feedback, problem-solving, and iteration.
5. Do They Offer a Sample Project?
Some services let you test them out on a small part first. That’s a good sign they’re confident in their work — and it gives you a low-risk way to make sure you’re a good fit.
